Hospital Medical Equipment Med-tronic Lifepak20 LP20 Defibrillator Paddle

► Brief Introduction

The standard paddle set is an accessory for the LIFEPAK 20 defibrillator/monitor and includes adult and pediatric defibrillator (hard) paddles. The standard paddles can be used for QUIK-LOOK® ECG monitoring, defibrillation, and synchronized cardioversion therapies. When using standard paddles, a conductive interface designed for defibrillation, such as defibrillation gel or gel pads, must be used between the paddle electrode surface and the skin.

The adult standard paddles can be used for any pediatric patient weighing approximately 10 kg (22 lb) or more as long as the paddles fit completely on the chest and there is at least 2.5 cm (1 in.) of space between the paddle electrodes. Pediatric paddles should be used for patients weighing 10 kg (22 lb) or less or those whose chests are too small to accommodate the adult paddles.

► WARNINGS

• Shock hazard: Conductive gel (wet or dry) on the paddle handles can allow the electrical energy to discharge through the operator during defibrillation. Completely clean the paddle electrode surfaces, handles, and storage area after defibrillation.
• Possible patient skin burns: During defibrillation, air pockets between the skin and standard paddles can cause patient skin burns. Completely cover paddle electrode surfaces with fresh conductive gel and apply 11.3 kg (25lbs.) of pressure per paddle during discharge.
• Possible paddle damage and patient skin burns: Discharging the defibrillator with the standard paddle surfaces shorted together can pit or damage the paddle electrode surface. Pitted or damaged paddle surfaces may cause patient skin burns during defibrillation. Discharge the defibrillator only as described in these Operating Instructions.
• Possible burns and ineffective energy delivery: A gel pathway on the skin between the standard paddles will cause defibrillating energy to arc between paddles and divert energy away from the heart muscle. Do not allow conductive gel (wet or dry) to become continuous between paddle sites.
• Possible damage to defibrillator and defibrillator shutdown: When used in conjunction with another defibrillator to deliver more than 360J, one or both defibrillators may be damaged and shutdown may occur due to excessive currents. Avoid simultaneous discharge from both defibrillators and maintain a backup device in case one or both defibrillators shut down. If the defibrillator shuts down, take the device out of service and contact a qualified service technician.
